for when you need to just feel good and weird and slightly less sad
everyone i know who loves this show found it at a time that they were on the verge of a nervous breakdown. i don't know exactly why it appeals to people in crisis but it does.
it's a silly talk show but it's also a show about community, kindness, being true to yourself and it's really fuckin fun

o Yep. Can confirm, i found this in a very dark time too. Wild. his podcast, Beautiful Anonymous, was (is?) also very special.

Hugely creative comedy talk show that aired on public access in New York. You might know Gethard from the Beautiful/Anonymous podcast these days or his HBO special, but back then he was an improviser who had improvisers doing bits on a late night talk show. I linked to a good starter episode - you'll know within 5 minutes if it's for you.
Featuring: a live band, live call-ins, random people added to the cast, a different musical guest every show, a human fish, a studio audience of superfans, a variety of topics like Loser is the New Nerd, How do Girls Work, The Genuine Sadness Episode, Turtle Birthday and many more.
It was my PI back when it aired every Wednesday.

one last post before i tuck myself into bed. watching a couple of episodes of game changer to chill out. here's my little setup of my ipad and the tiny fan that's been essential in this heat.
i used to watch clips of whose line is it anyway on youtube, and got into collegehumour/dropout over the pandemic through their sketches and d20. game changer is still one of my favorite things they make! sam reich is like if jigsaw made his improv comedian best friends do unhinged things but was actually nice in the end. it's delightful. my favorite episodes are escape the greenroom and bingo, but you honestly can't go wrong with any of them. there are episodes available on their youtube for free if you want to see what i mean :)

Funny, weird, existential. Feels like it could have been made this year.
